Welcome to the social media conference you have always wanted to attend.
What does that actually mean?
Social Fresh has been curating top social media conferences for almost 4 years now. Our first San Diego event will be our 15th social media marketing conference.
We've learned a lot.
1. A Single Track
First and foremost. We host one single track for all attendees. There are a lot of conferences out there with three, four, or even a dozen content choices for each session. They cover a lot, but it's also a bit of a gamble whether you end up in a session where you can actually learn something.
We curate, so you don't have to.
Our sessions are rich with examples and actionable for everyone from Coca-Cola to the corner store.
2. 30 Minute Sessions
I can sit through a 3 hour lecture on Instagram marketing for Scandinavian hospitality brands, but it won't be useful to most of us, and even the best presentation loses you after 45 minutes or so.
We keep sessions short. And we keep topics focused. Every session will drill down to core concepts, examples, and/or data.
Keeping sessions to 30 minutes challenges our amazing speakers to feature their best content, while keeping your attention — maximizing what you can takeaway from each presenter.
3. No Panels. No Gambling.
We could invite 150 speakers for a two day conference. And we could invite 6 people on stage for each session. But panels are gambling.
When one person owns the stage, they are responsible for delivering value to the audience. When a panel graces the stage, each voice competes for time, and often a few of those voices fail to deliver.
Smart social media professionals with examples, data, and actionable information are hard to find. Even more so, finding speakers with the ability to keep your attention long enough to convey that valuable info, is an even rarer breed. When we do find these diamonds in the social media rough, we like to give them the whole stage, and see them rise to the occasion.
4. Group Learning is What Makes a Conference
The secret ingredient to every conference experience are the other attendees sitting around you.
Social Fresh attendees are marketing professionals, business owners, and innovators that come from across the country, quite a few traveling thousands of miles, to get serious about social media.
Oh yeah, and have a little fun.
It is no accident that our events take place in Tampa, Florida and San Diego, California.
It's no accident that we build in time, space, and parties. Our attendees get to meet each other. They enjoy learning as a group. In fact, oftentimes more “AHA!” moments happen in the hallways between sessions than they do sitting in rows of chairs, taking notes.
Both elements are important to us, and important to the experience of refreshing your social media marketing inspiration tank.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

Networking

Social Fresh is two days of high value content surrounded by tons of opportunities to connect with and learn from fellow attendees, sponsors and speakers.
We build in snack breaks, a lunch break, receptions, after parties, and group exercises. These breaks give your brain a rest and let you build relationships that will bring value long after the conference ends
Attendees will also have have full access to the Social Fresh exhibitor lounge. Mix and mingle with the vendors, agencies and partners that push the social media marketing industry forward.
